- 2 ⁄3 cup olive oil
- 2 ⁄3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 pound Barilla dried spaghetti
- 1⁄3 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- In a large bowl, whisk the oil, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, 3 ⁄4 teaspoon of salt, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of pepper to blend. Set the lemon sauce aside. (The sauce can be made up to 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still fi rm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, and toss with the basil and lemon zest. Toss the pasta with enough reserved cooking liquid, 1⁄4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season the pasta with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to bowls and serve.
